The moment the two characters fell, Yin Mei felt a sharp pain shoot through her legs. All strength drained from them. She tried to lift her foot, but it felt numb and dead. Her face turned pale with shock. She stared at Zhu Yanyi. "What poison did you put on me?"
"Poisoning is very easy for me," Zhu Yanyi said calmly. "This poison is called Mu Lingxi. It has a nice name, but also a bad one: Zombie Dream. It means if you don’t get the antidote, your body will slowly turn like wood, like a zombie. You will lose feeling. But your mind stays clear. You will watch your legs go numb first. Then your hands. Then your body. Then your face. Then your heart. At that point, you still won’t die. You will watch your body crack because it is too stiff. You will see blood flow out. Then your organs. Then your eyes and tongue. Only then will your brain slowly stiffen. Finally, you will die."
Zhu Yanyi looked straight into Yin Mei’s eyes. She spoke very seriously. "Of course, I have the antidote. But I don’t want to give it to you. You can find someone else to make it. But their medical skill must be better than mine."
She waved her hand casually. Yin Mei felt her legs slowly regain feeling. "Doesn’t that feel good? Don’t worry. That was just a taste. The first real attack will be in three days. Go back to my master now. Ask her to make medicine to suppress it. It is still in time. This poison attacks every three days. It doesn’t hurt much. It just makes you lose feeling. Isn’t that right?"
Yin Mei’s triangular eyes looked like knives. She wanted to pierce Zhu Yanyi with her gaze. But Zhu Yanyi didn’t care at all. She looked at her hand. "If you want to leave, go quickly. If not, stay here."
Yin Mei snorted. She waved her hand. "Let’s go." She really wanted to catch Zhu Yanyi. But she knew she couldn’t succeed this time. Besides, the poison on her body was very important.
"Oh, right," Zhu Yanyi added. "Take good care of my master. Wait for me to come. I don’t know when I will come yet. When I can come, I will. Tell my master not to miss me too much. Just take good care of her health."
Yin Mei snorted again. Then she left. She walked away without looking back. Zhu Yanyi turned her gaze to Luke and the others nearby. Those were helpers Luke had invited. Seeing Zhu Yanyi like this, they were already too scared to move.
"Tsk tsk." Evil energy appeared in Zhu Yanyi’s eyes again. It was deeper now. "You say, how should I repay your kindness just now?"
"We didn’t mean it. Please let us go. We were also tricked by Luke," one person said boldly.
Zhu Yanyi walked over. She looked her up and down. "You were tricked by Luke?"
"Yes, yes," the man nodded quickly. "Ask the others if you don’t believe me."
Zhu Yanyi looked at the others. "You were also tricked?"
"Yes," the others nodded quickly. At this moment, they only wanted to protect themselves. If they had known this young lady was not a good person but a demon, they would never have listened to Luke. They would never have gotten involved in this matter.
